What would we do without Jodie? – is a question I asked myself many many times throughout the wedding planning process. Jodie, simply put, is the best! My sister worked with Particular Planner for her wedding in June 2021 and immediately after I got engaged my mom said we have to work with Jodie again and I had zero hesitations.

We officially started working with Jodie 3 to 4 months before our wedding and she is one of the most organized, professional, proactive, and motivated people I’ve ever met. I always looked forward to our calls because I knew we would accomplish so much, and whatever worries I had that day would immediately fade away because Jodie always had a solution. She kept me on track with all aspects of planning, introduced thoughtful details I would never have thought of, and made me even more excited for what was shaping up to be the best day of our lives—with Jodie leading the charge. She was also happy to join our calls with vendors, making sure we stayed on track and had any questions smoothed out by the end of our conversations. I truly cannot fathom the amount of work Jodie puts in behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly. For us, the day was flawless, and while we recognize how perfectly it all came together, we know it was because Jodie worked tirelessly to make sure that was the case. I also loved how responsive she was throughout the entire planning process. I always knew I could reach out to her at any time and would get a quick, thoughtful response.

The day before, she ran a great and much needed rehearsal for us and our wedding party and then, on the wedding morning, she came to my parents’ house where we were getting ready. She organized all our dresses, made sure everything was perfect, and took care of all the little details so we could relax and enjoy those special moments without feeling rushed. Then, at the venue, Jodie was a superstar (no surprise there) making sure we were having the best time, supporting our vendors, and ensuring our guests were so happy. Her energy, direction, and attention to detail made the entire day so incredible for us and allowed us to focus on what mattered most.

I could go on and on about how Jodie made the wedding planning process enjoyable, how her leadership shaped all the decisions that led to our dream wedding, and how grateful we are to have had her as part of two of the most important days for our family. If you're looking for a wedding planner, especially down the shore, Jodie is your person, and I promise that having her on your team will be one of the best decisions you can make.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jodie! She was a joy to work with. If you are considering hiring a wedding planner, and I highly recommend that you do, please hire Jodie! There is no way I could have planned my wedding and enjoyed it as much as I did without her. She helped me craft my vision and execute with confidence. She really “tied the bow” on the day – from day of coordination, which she is phenomenal at – the day literally just “happened” it felt so seamless and I was not involved or even made aware of any mishap at all (and I’ve been in enough weddings to know there is always a snafu lol), to the level of detail and cohesiveness of the design (which was exquisite, if I may) to the ease and flow and just overall vibe of the weekend for my guests, family and wedding party. She is exactly what you are looking for to alleviate a lot of the stress of planning, guide you through the industry and really elevate your wedding!

My wedding was two months ago and I am still trying to find the right words to describe my experience with Jodie/Particular Planner! We used the Event Management service, as I thought I just needed someone for the "day-of" logistics and support, but what I got out of working with Jodie was SO MUCH MORE. I felt like a very organized bride, but Jodie brought so much expertise, advice, and guidance to the planning process. She brought up things that I would have never even thought of, considered all of my concerns and questions, communicated directly with my vendors and set up any necessary meetings, and created timelines for everyone involved in the day. She even joined me at an in-person meeting with my florist. On the wedding day itself, Jodie was such a calming presence, and really handled everything -- she worked so well with our venue, photographer, and all our other vendors to ensure the day flowed seamlessly. She really pulled the day together from a big picture perspective, but also helped with all the little things that came up. Looking back, I don't know how I would have gotten through the planning process OR the day itself without her. Our parents and wedding party are still talking about how impressed they were with Jodie -- any time they brought something up to her that may need to get done, it had already been taken care of hours before -- she is just on top of it all! When Jodie is by your side on your wedding day, you get to truly enjoy the day and not worry about a thing! Working with her was easily one of the the best decisions we made for our wedding!
